Return from picturesque walks with your delighted dog to bask out in the Suffolk sunshine and take in the glorious views. This magical retreat, near Peasenhall, 5 miles from Saxmundham, makes an idyllic retreat for couples and their canine companions. Originally a barn, the one-bedroom abode sleeps two guests and nestles in tranquil countryside yet is also within reach of the beautiful Suffolk Heritage Coast. There is also a well-stocked lake here for those who enjoy fishing.
Arrive back after your exciting forays to rinse muddy paws under the outside tap and towel down your furry friend. Make your way into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to light the wood burner to warm cold paws and feet on autumn and winter days. Watch TV, read your book and let your happy hound daydream about his latest adventure. During the warmer months, pull open the glass doors in here instead and let your chum pad in and out from the enclosed garden. There is a pull-down bed in here too. Whip up hearty feasts for all members of your party - including those with four legs - over in the kitchen area, then dine inside or out. Take the stairs up to the first floor to find the double bedroom and en-suite shower room. As well as your courtyard garden, there is a shepherd’s hut here to sit out in. There is also ample space for cycles and parking for up to four cars.
Pack a picnic, grab some water and dog treats, and head straight out into your scenic surroundings to explore. Plan a trip to Dunwich, 8.5 miles away, where not only can you and your chum play on the beach without restriction, but you can also wander through the 215 acres of attractive heathland that is owned by the National Trust.
